By
2030, the digital economy is projected to generate up to PHP 5 trillion (USD
101.3 billion) in economic value in the Philippines[1].
With e-commerce set to become a key pillar of the economy in the near future,
there lies an opportunity to develop emerging tech talents to support this
rapid growth. Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and
Taiwan, recognizes the need to upskill young Filipino talents and mold them to
become tech leaders of tomorrow through its Shopee Apprentice Program.
Open
to top university students, the Shopee Apprentice Program aims to develop
future leaders in the tech industry by equipping them with critical skills such
as problem solving, effective communication, and adapting to a fast-paced
working environment. Throughout the duration of the internship, Apprentices are
immersed in Shopee’s collaborative work culture. They are given the chance to
gain firsthand experience working on impactful large-scale projects in the
e-commerce and digital finance industry. Apart from the exposure and valuable
work experience, Apprentices can also expect to receive guidance and mentorship
from Shopee’s top leaders as their internship journey progresses. Upon
completion of the program, successful Apprentices
have the option to join an accelerated track for the Global Leaders Program,
Shopee’s 2-year flagship graduate program for young professionals.
This
year’s batch of Apprentices is a diverse mix of top students from prestigious
local and international universities. To mark the beginning of their internship
journey, the Apprentices were welcomed with an on-site event held at the Shopee
office. The gathering allowed them to get to know one another, and hear the
advice and testimonials from Apprentice Program alumni and mentors. Through
their sharing, they were able to get an idea of what is in store for them and
what to expect, as they embark on their rigorous internship journey.
Karen Perez, Head of People
at Shopee Philippines, shared “The Shopee Apprentice
Program is a testament to our commitment to developing leaders of tomorrow. We
look forward to maximizing our platform to provide even more opportunities to
hone the skills of young tech talents,
even at the career preparation stage.”
The
impending growth of the local tech industry emphasizes the need to develop and
prepare young tech talent. To support this growth, Shopee is always on the
lookout for young Filipinos interested in becoming drivers of growth in the
tech industry. Learn more about how you can become an apprentice today and a
